Must the House provide an affirmative prosecution of the case after having passed the impeachment indictments and after having physically provided the articles to the senate and selecting the Managers? Once the President is impeached and the articles sent to the Senate, can they effectively walk away from the matter without even notifying the senate in advance of Nolle prosequi by just not showing up to prosecute? Let the Senate figure out whether and how to run its faux trial without prosecutors in attendance. The senate can debate and pontificate all it wants. But can the Senate formally acquit Trump of impeachment artical without an adversarial trail which cannot happen without those House managers in attendance to argue the case?
Then the House has put the case in the public record, without actually taking the decision out of the voters hands. Its members are actually taking the case away from this poisoned well of overtly biased jurors to a broader jury pool with all the testimony, all the evidence that they gathered unmuddied by the charade of sycophancy awarded the President's legal team. . An added benefit is that that Senators Sanders, Warren etc are not stalled from the campaign trail by this pathetic excuse of a trial.
